What we are seeing is the disintegration of a narcissist.
They exist only for as long as they can control the narrative.
When they cannot control the flow of information, their facade begins to fracture. Light shines through the act onto the broken, incompetent actor inside.

Then, as the weight of their frauds and failures mount and the mirage of their worthiness of esteem dissipates, they flail and founder.
They exile the people closest to them.
They become isolated, brooding, angry and alone.

With no one left to perform for who might in anyway reflect back disagreement, they’re left to only their basest impulses.
And those base impulses are utterly devoid of the insights that come from being fully human with depth of character.
They are simply primal.

Bullying, stubbornness, redoubling the same tactics that have already failed. Flexing their diminishing muscles. Demanding compliance.
To the people left to watch, it’s a slow-motion implosion.
It’s an unraveling.

Trump, if you pay close attention, is all but inert. A zombie.
Gone is the bombast. The energized rants.
It’s all perfunctory now. Weak, lifeless oratory. A toothless tweet or two.
Narcissist’s are fueled by the undue esteem they manipulate others into showering on them.

Narcissists are buckets with no bottom. They need a constant supply of others’ admiration to merely function.
Trump’s life source has slowed to a trickle.
He is a weakened, hobbled, small man wandering the White House like an apparition.

He is right on the precipice of taking a de facto wooden stake to the heart.
If Republicans cave and surrender to a deal without wall funding, it will be the last push for the porcelain Humpty Dumpty.
A fragile king abandoned by the king’s men.

Trump has been sequestered in the White House for over a month.
The boa constrictor that is Nancy Pelosi isolated him far from his precious fuel with only his twin demons for company: his bottomless neediness and his impulses.
It’s downright Shakespearean.

Alone with his fatal flaws, Trump has nothing left but the empty halls of his self-made bunker and nothing to do but weakly rage at hurricanoes.
He whipped up this tempest. Now he can’t escape it.
Such is the way narcissists are destroyed.
Just like this.
